Ok. Right. Sure. That makes sense.
Errr. Yes. What's hard to grasp about that? The panic derives directly from the democratic imperative placed on MPs and their need to balance the sometimes impossible demands of voters, party, necessity and conscience.
The calm consideration is what you see from the Lords is that of people who know they are not going to be held accountable for anything.
